Apart from the Drag racing and Sparco in his Coupe, has anyone any info on racing Coupes in the past? Anyone got any race springs, seats, aka pretty much anything, also any info on anyone that has raced a Coupe (circuit racing)
Thanks

Nigel and sparco are the best bet on here mate!
other than them i dont think may people have done it.
from what ive seen i think a few of the french coupe owners have done a bit of coupe racing.. but im not 100% on that!

Sparco, maybe you wont let you play because you are too damn fast! (thats usually the reason) I cant compete in the Alfa championship with my production Alfa because it has the wrong bumper!!
Oh, And according to the Knockhill youtube video you call people names when they get in your way .. ;-)

I think there may be a yellow coupe that is track prepared,i have seen it on this forum,possibly from Ireland. I know the French lads with the track prepared coupes,as do a fair few of us that attend Spaitalia. The French Blue 16vt owner tells me that his car is now going so well that its his driving that now needs to improve.I was on the track with him in August and he was getting along very nicely.

I'd get the right bumper and race with the alfa. Dont forget the shared platform the fiat is built on, this opens ups a number of other avenues for advice or parts. But its will never be an integra or a escort cosworth so availability of ready to race bits aint so great.

LiamM I know its a track car, but looks rather blind without the headlights..
Must have cost a fortune to make it track ready though?

I must admit that when I got the bonnet and put it on, I wasn't that impressed either, but it's grown on me and i quite like it now, plus it only weights 8 kgs!
As for expense, I suppose its cost me €5k all in (not including the car itself). That's with Gaz gold coilovers, customized K-Sport Subaru Impreza topmounts, OMP braces top and bottom, GT28R turbo with custom exhaust, custom head work, caged and painted inside, GTECH pro X ECU which still needs to be mapped (hoping for circa 300bhp) Seats, harnesses, steering wheel, extinguisher, kill switches, 17" team dynamics wheels, Michelin Slicks. It all adds up!
